Alonso/Ferrari topped the time sheet in FP1 while Kimi could not set a time due to mechanical problems on his car.

Maldo just crashed out here in FP2, getting some more spare parts installed for his pay driver fee. <doh>

From FP1 and FP2 it appears that tyre degradation is serious at this circuit. Which driver/car combo do you think will thrive best? Some may gamble on a 2-stopper.

No idea at this stage, P1. No-one is going to admit that they are chewing tyres this early in the weekend, are they.

Looking good for Alonso. But won't know till quali really. Perhaps a different track and cooler temperature is helping Ferrari. Surely nothing to do with the new appointment? <nope>
